The Grant county agricultural and
mechanical association recently ad-
dressed an invitation to the Milbank
driving park association to unite with
them. The proposition naturally in
volved the abandonment by the latter
organization of its fine grounds and
excellent track. which are very near
ly paid for. and going In with the for
mer society, which is very heavily in
debt, and whose track is new and soft
and which Is 50 near the railroad that
owners of good horses would not risk
trotting them where passing trains

race. Furthermore, the railroad has

ciety, while the crossing to the driv.
ing park is removed quite distance
from where switching is done. The
driving park has respectfully declined
the invitation of the agricultural as.
aociation, and made a counter propOs-
ition Offering the society the free use
Of its grounds for fall fair each year
with the provision that the driving
park manage the races and the agri-
cultural society the fair exhibits. The
offer further provides that the gate re-
celpts Shall be equally divided between
| the two societies after first deducting
a sum sum sufficient to pay the taxes
on the grounds. The offer Is an ex-
tremely liberal one upon the part of
the driving park, as it does not ask
the agricultural society to take dol.
lars worth of stock. The agricultur.
al society is to have free use of ground
upon which to erect buildings and
stock enclosures. and the use of such
portions of the grounds that Will not
interfere with the races. There is
but little doubt but that the agri.
cultural society will accept the prop.
osition, but if it does not. then the
driving park association will proceed
to hold an agricultural fair each fall

publican rule, were nearly all connect
ed with the manner in which the Office
holders habitually discharged their du-
ties, and it could hardly be expected
that officials, generally active parti-
sans, could suddenly experience so
thorough conversation as to render
them efficient coadjutors in the great
work which the President had been
chosen to perform. While adhering
closely to the principles of Civil-Serv-
ice reform. which put ability and integ-
rity before all partisan considerations,
in selecting Government employees,
President Cleveland found that such
qualities were to be found in abun-
dance in the Democratic party, and he
acted accordingly. There will be very

SENATE SECRETS.
A Government Publication Which May
Cause Considerable Excitement.

Cause Considerable Excitement.
The Senate in one of it's last secret
sessions, ordered the executive journal
to be published for the forty years from
1929 to 1869. But one publication of
any part of the Senate's secret proceed
ings has ever been made. That in
cluded the period from the first Con-
gress to 1929. Very little of the flesh
and blood of the secret life of the Sem
ate can be had from its journal. 1t
does not record the debate over treaties
and appointments, and the eloquent
speeches, the witty retorts, the quar-
rels and mad struggles will not be
found infinitely and faithfully pictured
in the forthcoming printed journal The
secret sessions of the Senate are made
so for the reason that there must be op-
portunity to speak freely about men
whom the President and his advisers
think fit to hold office. The Senate
simply converts itself into big COM
mittee, sitting with closed doors, and
every one is at liberty to tell what he
thinks or knows about the particular
nomination up for discussion. Moth
ing of these deliberations is told by any
Senator-theoretica AS fact, how
ever, a good deal is told, and the news
papers are usually accurate in their
reports of secret sessions. There is al
ways good deal of curiosity among
the Senators, and among other folks as
well, to know how their secret proceed
ings became public. 1t is simply a pro-
cess of inq uiry and addition-what lit
tie one Senator is disposed to say is put
with what half a dozen others may
say. Sometimes a Senator who does not
approve of secret sessions rashly gives
away all he can remember of session.
The journal to be printed will show
how near right the reports that leaked
out about secret sessions during the
war were. The theory of the Senate
in making the record public now is
that no harm can be done after suffi-
cient time has interviewed between the
events which involved the names of in
dividuals and the present. There are
good many now living, however,
who will be affected in very lively
way by publication of the secret pro-
ceedings of the Senate as recent as
1869. The work is to be thoroughly
indexed, and each volume will contain
five hundred pages of the journal and
about hundred of the index. There
will be six of these volumes. Half of
the whole work will be devoted to the
war period, during which thousands
upon thousands of army officers were
confirmed or rejected by the Senate

Theatrical Snow-Storms.

lately learned some curious facts
respecting stage show as used in the
Partisan theaters. Formerly the head
property man of each theater caused
his subordinates to manufacture it by
cutting white paper into little bits, but
of late years the paper-makers have
supplied it in large sacks, and cut up
fine by a mechanical chopper. The
snow thus prepared is so condensed
that it has TO be. crumbled between the
fingers before it can be used. of late
the theaters that are illuminated by the
electric light have given up the use Of
paper snow, as the particles as they
descend are attracted by the fame
and might catch fire; moreover,
under the intense white light it was
scarcely visible and produced no effect.
Various substitutes for paper have been
tried. Whalebone shavings did pretty
well and were not expensive, costing
only sixty cents sack. But the best
of all possible limitations of snow is
found to be the scraps and clippings Of
kid, left over from cutting out gloves.
They float in the air, descending with
very realistic slowness, and they cling
visibly to the garments of the actors.
These clippings are furnished to the
Grand Opera by several of the leading
glove houses of Paris, and cost two dol
lars a sack.-Paris Cor. PHILADELPHIA
